im sorry rad fems sold you the lie that butches are only Non Threatening (TM) cis women with short hair who wear T-shirts and jeans with a carabiner, but the reality of the situation is a lot of butches are trans, genderqueer, physically imposing, big, male impersonators, hairy (especially including facial hair), sweaty, muscular, "ugly" and/or fat. some butches are into extreme body modification. some went bald. some are body builders. some are transfem butches who don't wanna overperform womanhood, take estrogen, or medically transition. some butches start testosterone strictly to feel more like a butch. some butches pass as cis men, and some need to do so in order to feel like their butch selves. soft butches are great, but that's not the "One Right Way" to be butch. the butches i'm attracted to would make a rad fem scream and cry and piss themselves on the floor.

It’s Cancer!

Three paintings meant to be read together depicting my childhood psychosis, in which I thought I had cancer when my breasts started developing. I had decided I couldn’t tell my parents and instead would freak out and try to think of ways to cut the “cancer” out.

I’m enjoying this t4t erp thing we’ve got going here so far but I’m really starting to think that you didn’t read the lore document I sent you beforehand.

Transmasculinity is about transitioning towards masculinity in whatever way that means for you; it is not about what gender you were assigned at birth or necessarily about moving away from womanhood and femininity.

Your transmasculinity doesn’t have to fit the narrative of being afab, stopping identifying as a girl/woman, and exclusively ever masculinizing yourself. You can be transmasc while having been amab, a transmasculine woman (cis, trans, or otherwise), a feminine transmasc, etc. Queer labels are what you make of them—they are to unite us, not divide us up. If the term feels right for your life, it’s for you. Gatekeeping is silly, having a diversity of experiences and identities just adds to the beauty of the transmasculine community.

Note: to be clear even that is just the best personal explanation of the term I can give in the context of my life and understanding of the community. it’s not what I am saying the term must mean to everyone. transmasculinity is what you make of it. gendered labels don’t need one cohesive definition, queer it up folks.

comment from user @suriandtaal:

“you don’t need anyone to tell you this, but transitioning and being happy as a man is far better for women as a whole than staying closeted and associating femininity with misery. your euphoria is far more powerful than any “betrayal” you could possibly be making, being happy in your own body and gender and advocating for others to be too is the best solidarity :) ❤️”

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

It’s actually incredibly sad that there’s an entire discussion involving hundreds of trans people online Specifically meant to target some of the most disadvantaged transmascs in the community. Prompted with the purpose of dismissing their suffering for the amusement and comfort of others— something most transmascs are very familiar with already, as our oppressors treat us similarly— and forcing them into a position where they must fully downplay the trauma they’ve experienced, lest they be ostracized by the community that remains. “Binders are easy and free to access, and if you disagree you’re lying” Not that you’ve ever tried to buy one. “There are no situations that people on testosterone require ‘emergency hrt’, therefore it shouldn’t be made available” Not that you’re willing to back that with any actual information. “Transmascs don’t experience physical abuse, and when they do it’s nowhere near as severe as other marginalized groups” Not that you’ll acknowledge those of us that do have those experiences, much less those of us who aren’t white— those of us that experience systemic oppression at an intersection. The list goes on and on.

And, as always, we are not allowed to talk about it. We simply aren’t seen as competent enough to speak on our own experiences. And in the rare cases that we are, the coin seems to flip and suddenly, we are too dangerous and predatory to hold a conversation.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
